# recs-boost-special

_Witnessed 2026-09-04T23:02:04.319Z — QRATE-UAT-1_

**The board calls this PASSED on 14 steps.** Twelve are API calls with no screen. This walk asks the human half: can an owner find the boost and chef's-pick controls, and does a diner ever see the result?

_I change nothing — so the set/clear half (steps 11-14) is UNPROVEN, not failed._

### 01 · OWNER

**I expected:** I sign in and land on my restaurant

**I saw:** owner app at https://owner.dev.qrate-ai.com/owner/dashboard/?restaurantId=99e9d621-6941-4acc-8d85-50f15f3a2f2b.

> **On the dish LIST, words that could mean "promote":** none

### 02 · OWNER

**I expected:** I open one of my dishes to promote it

**I saw:** dish editor open with tabs: Dish Properties | Menus (1) | Modifiers | Pairings | Performance. Screen: Skip to main content QRate Canary Kitchen — dev Home Food Items Menu Tables/Staff Personalize Insights C Canary Owner Warnings 45 CSV Add Dish Food Categories All Items 40 Appetize

### 03 · OWNER

**I expected:** I look on EVERY tab of the dish for a way to boost it or mark it a chef's pick

**I saw:** across 5 tabs — a boost control: true; a chef's-pick control: true

### 04 · OWNER

**I expected:** I open the Boost and Chef's Special controls and read what they tell me

**I saw:** boost: None Low Moderate High · chefs-special: 

> **The other places an owner would look:**
> ```
> Menu builder: words [] · named controls []
> Personalize: words [] · named controls []
> Insights · recommendations: words [] · named controls []

### 05 · OWNER

**I expected:** If it is not on the dish, it is on the menu builder or Personalize

**I saw:** none of the three mentions boosting, chef's picks or featuring a dish

### 06 · PATRON

### 07 · PATRON

**I expected:** Somewhere on this menu the restaurant tells me what it recommends

**I saw:** {"Beverages":{"tiles":9,"words":[],"badgeIds":["m2-hero","m2-hero-slide-7d344d5f-d008-4ce7-a149-d896863987f2"]},"Appetizers":{"tiles":1,"words":[],"badgeIds":["m2-hero","m2-hero-slide-7d344d5f-d008-4ce7-a149-d896863987f2"]},"Entrees":{"tiles":13,"words":[],"badgeIds":["m2-hero","m2-hero-slide-7d344d5f-d008-4ce7-a149-d896863987f2"]},"Desserts":{"tiles":1,"words":[],"badgeIds":["m2-hero","m2-hero-slide-7d344d5f-d008-4ce7-a149-d896863987f2"]}}

**Cleanup:** none — I changed nothing.

**Verdict:** WALKED

**Why it ended here:** walked the owner controls and the diner surface end to end
